Does the food truck fit on a drive on the Villerslei?

On most drives, yes, if at least 2.5 metres of width is clear and nothing hangs low above. Send us a photo, and we will see whether the truck can stand there firmly and safely.

May the truck stand along the street if our drive is too small?

That is possible with permission from the municipality of Schoten, because it is public space. The organiser submits that request; the technical sheet with length, width and weight is ours to provide.

Can we let the neighbours share in the fun?

Of course. Let us know beforehand how many people you expect in total, and we will match the quantity and pace to that. There is no minimum, and up to about a hundred and fifty guests the truck is enough.

Will the truck leave marks on our drive?

On paving stones or gravel normally not. We take away everything we brought, rubbish included, and leave the drive as we found it.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Villerslei

Pizza food truck on the Villerslei in Schoten

Along the broad tree-lined avenue in Schoten most townhouses have their own drive. That is where our pizza food truck parks, wood-fired oven facing the street, as a festive welcome for everyone coming to celebrate your birthday or reception.

The drive as a pitch

The truck fits on most drives on the Villerslei. That keeps the garden free for your guests and puts the food right at the entrance.

Neighbours looking on

A truck with a burning oven at the door draws attention in the street. Ideal if you would like the neighbours to join in for a moment too.

Nothing needed from the house

No crowded kitchen, no socket in the garage. The truck already holds a water tank, fridges, a stainless-steel worktop and a stock of split wood.

A broad avenue with roomy drives

The Villerslei is one of the most recognisable streets in Schoten: wide, with trees along the side and stately houses set back from the carriageway. That layout makes the avenue suited to a food truck. Many houses have a drive or forecourt where the truck can stand without having to go on the public road.

A truck at the door changes the dynamic of a party at home. Guests are not received in the hall but outside, at the hatch, with a slice of pizza and a glass. The front facade becomes the backdrop. Whoever arrives later sees from afar that the party is already under way. And neighbours passing by stop for a chat.

Drive, pavement or carriageway

On your own drive no permit is needed. A flat paved or gravel drive is ideal, as long as at least 2.5 metres of width is clear and no low branches or carport hang above. A photo of the drive, taken from the street, helps us judge that in advance.

If the drive is too tight and you want to put the truck along the avenue itself, it becomes public space. In that case you as organiser ask the municipality of Schoten for permission to occupy that stretch of street or parking strip. You attach our sheet with the truck’s dimensions to that application. We agree a fixed hour to take the spot.

From first slice to last guest

A good hour and a half before the doorbell first rings, the wood is already burning in the truck; the service itself runs for a couple of hours afterwards. For a birthday or reception on the avenue, pizza à volonté in slices is often enough; if you want to host more elaborately, start with an aperitivo and finish with dolci.

The truck can manage alone for about a hundred and fifty guests; for a bigger party we add a second station. Vegetarian flavours are in every selection, and for guests eating gluten-free or vegan we bake separately on request. When the last guest leaves, the drive is empty and clean.
